When Craig opened up the show this morning, he complimented ‘The’ Eddie Scozzare for getting the show started right on time (Eddie is a pros-pro), then he went on to set up the show as he does every day. When it became time to say hello to his radio partner, his sullen radio partner I might add, Boomer immediately began to vent about his beloved Rangers, who from what I gather aren’t playing very well these days. But in the interest of ratings, Craig quickly got Boomer off the subject of hockey (nobody cares about hockey Boomer), by bringing up the dinner the two had last night with New Jersey Governor Elect Chris Christie, who happens to be a personal friend of Craigie Boy. After they covered their evening out on the town, it was on to the starting quarterback for the New York Jets, who by the way is not a USC graduate and is not named Mark Sanchez. Rex Ryan announced yesterday that Sanchez will not play on Sunday against the Buccaneers due to a slight tear in his PCL, which opens the door for back-up Kellen Clemens; with all due respect, let’s just say there is a reason Kellen is a back-up. As you can probably imagine, Boomer and Craig were on opposite sides of the fence on this one; Boomer looking at it as a former player and Craig lending the perspective of the fan, which generated quite a debate between the two dinner buddies…Plus, Tiki Barber takes a shot at the ‘San-Chize’ and Jerry updates the listening audience, Craig gives an assignment to our self-proclaimed production ‘Guru’ Zach Martin that can be described using just one word; CREEPY, Craig get upset after reading an email forwarded to him by Boomer, an in-studio sit down with the Executive Director of the NFLPA – DeMaurice Smith, former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mike Quick hops on to preview the Giants-Eagles game, a role playing fantasy of Craig's revealed and a knee slappin' Moment followed by a blog preview...
The guys spent a little quality time together last night, as they broke bread with NJ Governor Elect Chris Christie, which turned out to be a very good thing. Not just because Craig got to spend time with Boomer outside of work, but more importantly it prevented Boomer from watching his Rangers lose in overtime to the Chicago Blackhawks. Even without seeing the game, Boomer had plenty he wanted to get off his chest. After he was done ranting, the fellas discussed the aforementioned meal they shared and then it was onto the subject of who will be calling the signals on Sunday afternoon, when the Jets take on the Bucs in Tampa. Rex Ryan announced at yesterday’s press-conference that Kellen Clemens, not Mark Sanchez will start on Sunday. The guys discussed Ryan’s decision, Boomer praising him for making it when he did so Clemens gets as many reps as possible; Craig of course had an entirely different take…

Craig was more than a little suspicious when hearing Rex Ryan has elected to go with Kellen Clemens over Mark Sanchez when the Jets battle the Bucs. This after Ryan said earlier in the week that Sanchez was progressing nicely after injuring his knee last Thursday night in Toronto and Sanchez himself saying he expected to be ready to go. Craig praised the young QB for wanting to play despite the injury; which is now being called a slight tear in his PCL; and places the blame squarely on the Head Coach. Then we hear that former Giants running back Tiki Barber had a few things to say on the subject. Barber called Sanchez out, saying he played the majority of his career with no PCL at all in his right knee, then he pointed out that he was a running back, I assume he did this just in case we had forgotten. Craig calls him a jack ass and tells Al to book him for the show, not likely to happen. Jerry then filled us in on some more details in the Sanchez benching, as well as everything else going on in the world of sports, including a little Al Dukes’ re-mix action…

Today in the ‘World of Tiger’ we get a glimpse of Eldrick’s texting abilities, well we hear Eldrick’s texting abilities, and we get a glimpse of the acting talents of the lovely Tracy Burgess and one Zach Martin, as the two of them read the steamy texts aloud, as if they were having a conversation, a very creepy conversation. Craig originally wanted Joe Benigno or Danny Bonaduce (who was in the building today doing his own show for a station in Philly, WYSP) to play the role of the 'tail' chasing Tiger, but due to the time restraints neither was able to participate, which is when Zach got the call. Now Zach is very good at what he does, he is the lead production guy here at the FAN, but like I’ve done in the past, I’ll turn to ole Dirty Harry himself and simply say, ‘A man’s got to know his limitations’. With that said, I’ll put it like this, Zach’s acting skills leave very little to be desired, which Craig was quick to point out…

Boomer was teasing Craig about an email that he received regarding a possible appearance on TV. Now I’m sure you’re aware by now that Craig has a burning desire to host his own television show, so he was very intrigued. Boomer forwarded him the email, with the promise from Craig that he wouldn’t read it until he told him it was okay. So when the time came, Craig was very upset to learn the email was from none other than Jerry Seinfeld himself. Turns out he wants the Boom, not Craig, to be part of a show he is doing for NBC called ‘Marriage Ref’ where Boomer would act as a marriage expert. Needless to say, Craig was very disappointed that he was not included…

Then the guys welcomed the newly elected, Executive Director of the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), DeMaurice Smith into the studio for a lengthy chat about the pressing issues the NFL and its players face in the very near future. DeMaurice succeeded the late Gene Upshaw back in back in March of this year and he will immediately be tested, as the dreaded term ‘lock-out’ was thrown around numerous times during this 38 minute piece and that my friends is not good for anyone. They also talked about the concussion problem the league is currently dealing with and a host of other topics…

An old buddy of Craig’s from his days working in Philly and a colleague of Boomer’s during his playing days in the NFL, former Philadelphia Eagle Mike Quick joined the guys at the top of the 9 o’clock hour. Nowadays Quick can be heard on WYSP, serving as a color commentator for the Eagles games, so he joined the guys to offer a little Philly perspective of this Sunday night’s NFC East battle…

Looking back on the whole Tracy – Zach text bit, it was so bad that it was funny. Allow me to clarify, Zach was so bad, Tracy did a wonderful job. Anyway, Craig wanted to relive the creepy rendition once again and while doing so, Craig got to thinkin’ about a Halloween costume he purchased for his wife Kim, which she has yet to wear for him. It is a Bat Girl costume and Craig had a little role playing in mind, where he would play Robin to Mrs. Carton’s Bat Girl – Yeah I don’t get it either…

See you all bright and early when we'll do it all over again, from 6am-10am on Sports Radio 66 WFAN, in New York...
Word out of Mets camp is that, due to his thyroid condition, Jose Reyes will miss a pretty significant amount of time. General Manager Omar Minaya spoke on a conference call yesterday and word is Reyes will miss anywhere between 2-8 weeks of action. With that said, Boomer and Craig had their talking point to open up today’s action packed Program…Plus, Rocco does Craig a solid and Jerry does his job, Al Dukes belts out a Mets song with a little help from Hall and Oates, ‘sexy time’ apparently off-limits for the recovering Reyes, Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum talks all about the ‘process’, Al finds himself in an awkward situation with a co-worker, rapper Ludacris offers Craig some advice, Craig’s New Rochelle buddy Ray Rice, Jerry’s Moment of the Day doesn’t go over well and a Blog Spot to put a bow on this Friday edition of the Boomer and Carton Experience…
Boomer and Craig were both tired of talking about Jose Reyes and his ailing thyroid, so today they revisited the age old debate of whether Joba Chamberlain is better suited to be a starting pitcher or a set-up man for Mariano Rivera. Craig issued a promise that this would be the last time they’d talk about the subject, which has been beaten like a drum here in New York, but considering Joba’s shaky performance yesterday against the Tigers, Craig had to get a few things off his chest…Plus, a complimentary Craig and an updating Jerry, New Jersey Nets big-wig Brett Yormark talks about today’s ground breaking ceremony in Brooklyn, Craig wants to talk about the Yanks over lunch with Mike and Al turns over a new leaf, Arlen Roth tries to play (guitar) his way onto the B&C softball team, USA Hockey Team hero Zach Parise, former NFL great Emmitt Smith, current broadcasting legend Marv Albert and a Moment worth reliving…
The St. Johns Red Storm got a big win in the opening round of the Big East Tournament over UCONN, Boomer called it a shining moment and Craig mocked his radio partner for his declaration. With that said, it was good to have the guys back from Ireland and things back to normal. From there the guys discussed Jose Reyes’ thyroid, which may or may not be a problem, depends who you listen too. The ‘Not So Amazin’ Mets medical staff is saying one thing and Reyes himself is singing a different tune. Boomer and Craig look at both sides and try and figure out what exactly is going on…Plus, bug eyes, ugly Irish woman and an update from the handsome Jerry Recco, what to do with breast milk, Eddie’s going to die and the guys want to celebrate before he goes, a childhood dream for middle-aged men across the country, the guys break down history’s most influential explorers, funny man Jeff Garland, Craig is still under the impression he can write a hit song, Jerry’s Moment of the Day, followed by an informative Blog Spot…
Boomer and Craig may be 5,000 miles away in Ireland (enjoying some Irish tea in this picture), but that still isn’t far enough to get away from all the drama surrounding the Mets. Luckily, the boys are visiting the emerald isle to see the Bushmills distillery, and there’s no better way to discuss the Mets problems then over some smooth Bushmills Irish Whiskey...
The NFL free-agent signing began at midnight and the Jets, who because of their playoff run are prohibited from signing any free-agents at this point, went the trade route and acquired talented, troubled and ‘potent’ cornerback, Antonio Cromartie from the San Diego Chargers in exchange for a 2011 Draft Pick. Cromartie is only 25 years old, which if you’re a Jets fan is good. In the world of parenthood though, 25 is a little young to have seven kids of his own, with six different women by the way. Boomer warns the Jets, buyer beware, Craig gives out a warning of his own to all of the women across the tri-state area…Plus, Craig fancies himself a song writer just as Jerry fancies himself an update anchor, Al’s mind is wandering, Craig gets a dose of reality regarding his song writing ability, an act of heroism is rewarded, Al’s reservation about going to Ireland, a podcast from Al that is sure to bore your socks off, some singing and laughing followed by Jerry’s Moment of the Day and a redemption Blog spot from yours truly…
